TL;DR: Careful historical observation and monitoring of Kīlauea enabled successful forecasting of hazardous events, and cyclic inflation, deflation, and eventual collapse of the summit was tied to lava eruption from lower East Rift Zone fissures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Network for Observation of Volcanic and Atmospheric Change (NOVAC)—A global network for volcanic gas monitoring: Network layout and instrument description
Bo Galle,Mattias Erik Johansson,Claudia Rivera,Yan Zhang,Manne Kihlman,Christoph Kern,Thomas Lehmann,Ulrich Platt,Santiago Arellano,Santiago Arellano,Silvana Hidalgo +10 more
TL;DR: The Network for Observation of Volcanic and Atmospheric Change (NOVAC) project as mentioned in this paper uses a scanning miniaturized differential optical absorption spectroscopy (Mini-DOAS) instrument to measure volcanic gas emissions at active volcanoes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of volcanic eruptions on atmospheric chemistry
TL;DR: In this paper, the main effects of volcanic emissions on atmospheric chemistry are discussed, with a focus on sulphur and halogen compounds, and to a smaller extent on climate, mainly focusing on quiescent degassing, but the main effect of explosive eruptions on the troposphere and stratosphere are covered as well.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Monte Carlo atmospheric radiative transfer model McArtim: Introduction and validation of Jacobians and 3D features
T. Deutschmann,Steffen Beirle,U. Friess,M. Grzegorski,Christoph Kern,L. Kritten,U. Platt,C. Prados-Roman,Janis Pukite,Thomas Wagner,Bodo Werner,Klaus Pfeilsticker +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, a Monte Carlo atmospheric radiative transfer model is presented to support the interpretation of UV/vis/near-IR spectroscopic measurements of scattered Sun light in the atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intercomparison of the DOAS and LOPAP techniques for the detection of nitrous acid (HONO)
J. Kleffmann,Jutta Lörzer,Peter Wiesen,Christoph Kern,Sebastian Trick,Rainer Volkamer,Rainer Volkamer,Milagros Ródenas,K. Wirtz +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a recently developed HONO instrument (LOPAP) was validated against the DOAS technique, both in the field and in a large smog chamber under various conditions.
